🎙️ This week on The Um, Sir Podcast

We’re trying to look on the bright side — but clearly the Republicans on the House DOGE Committee skipped their lessons from Mr. Rogers and forgot how to get to Sesame Street. 🙃

🧀 There’s actual good news out of Wisconsin (miracles happen), Cory Booker brings a glimmer of hope from New Jersey, and Trump is tossing out tariffs like he’s hosting a twisted version of Oprah’s Favorite Things.

📦 Meanwhile, Samie’s got updates on Project 2025 — spoiler: the grind is real, but somehow the GOP is still flunking the group project.

Tune in for politics with a side of sass, and a reminder that absurdity is bipartisan. ✌️
